Great Card with Great Deals

I've had my Barclaycard for years now and have been send regular 0% interest offers on purchases and money transfers, all of which last 6 months to a year which makes it great value for money for large purchases. I would definitely recommend this card. The added contactless feature makes it quick and easy to use when out and about and in a hurry. Reviewed on: 27th January 2016

Positive experience

I opened my barclaycard account over 15 years ago when I was at university. I have always had a positive experience and they have contacted me on 2 occasions when they correctly discovered someone was using my card fraudulently. They have a good website. Recommended.

Cardholder experience

Have had a barclaycard for many years now. It was very easy to set up and transfer a balance to. They have a good fraud department which monitors any unusual spending. They can be too eager to increase the balance though. Reviewed on: 28th August 2015

A credit card with fair charges and no heavy sell.

In comparison to other credit cards, we're pleased with the rates offered by Barclaycard. They do send us through special transfer offers by post and email each month but there's never any hard sell in the way that I have experienced with other companies. The also leave your credit limit alone, again unlike other companies that I have had increase it without notification. Not good financial sense. Reviewed on: 28th August 2015

Great balance transfer service

Initial balance transfer was a simple process, and I am very happy that the expiry of 0% interest rates is shown on every statement. Not all companies do this but i find it helpful to know when these types of offers end. Reviewed on: 27th August 2015
